App review - Clinch

I am so excited to share today’s review with
you all! I know it’s very different from my usual makeup reviews, but I think
you will like it and enjoy the app as much as I do! And trust me, it is very
addicting! Once you download it and start ‘clinching’ you will immediately fall
in love with it! Wondering what app I am talking about? It is the Clinch app,
which is basically an app to make your online shopping experience even more fun
and creative. When you first start out using Clinch, all the different options
might be a little overwhelming, so I am here to help you out and explain
everything you can do and create.

First off, this is what the main page looks
like once you have downloaded Clinch.

In the search bar you can type in any
site you want to visit for online shopping. My favorite is definitely Sephora,
because they have so many different brands and the latest bestsellers on their
site, so I will use the Sephora site as an example. When you type in the site
you want to shop from, it turns into a Google page so you can easily go to your
favorite stores.

When you are on the site, it just works like the site normally
would, so you can just browse through all the different products and see
everything they have to offer.

So let’s say you find a makeup product that you
really like and want to buy in the future. For example, this Becca Champagne
Pop highlighter is something I am interested in.

To kind of ‘save’ this
product, I am going to ‘clinch’ it. Just click the button in the top right
corner to ‘clinch’ whatever product you want. It will take you to the next
screen, where you can choose the best picture of the product, the name, price
and description. To make it much easier for yourself to find a certain product
back, you can add a tag to it.

And that’s it! You have ‘clinched’ your first
product!

But what can you do with the products you
‘clinch’? Well, you can create your own wishlist of products!

I love this
feature because I like to clinch a lot of products and then go through them to
see everything I still want to get, which I think is a lot of fun to do when
you are a makeup junkie like me! ;) So you can just keep adding things to your
wishlist, or create a brand new one!

Another thing you can do with your ‘clinched’
products is compare them! So let’s say I want this Mac paint pot, but I also
really want this Nars concealer... Which one should I get first?

To make your
decision easier, add both to the compare bubble. Now when you click on one of
the products, you see the description and the price of the products so you can
easily see which of the products is cheaper and suits you better!

Now it is time to talk about my favorite
option! You can create your own canvas with all your ‘clinched’ products.

When
you click on the plus button in the top right corner you can add the products
you want to use for the look you are creating. You can easily move them and
change the size of the products so you can make the canvas look exactly like
you want it to!

I love using this to create new makeup looks so you can see all
the products together and see if you like it! I came up with this summer makeup
look, with products I found on the Sephora site and are on my ‘to buy’ list.

I was
going for a glowy skin, with a summery bright lip and I love how it turned out!
I definitely need to get some of these products now! I also created a canvas
with some of my absolute favorite makeup products I have and that I use on a
daily basis.

Stay tuned for my next blog post, which will show you the
completed makeup look based on this canvas, with a full description of all the
products used!

I hope that my explanation was clear and that
you now understand all the things you can do with the Clinch app. If you want
